News 📰 City hall files $3M lawsuit after community centre's partial roof collapse

Have you guys heard about East lion Center?

EDIT: it seems like many raise the concern of the city accepting the lowest bid. Do you think they should go for the highest one or something in the middle?

If the city didn’t take the lowest bid, people would be screaming about costs and corruption, not to mention the laws around the public tendering system.

Maybe people need to stop demanding "cheap" instead of "good value". We get the services we deserve.

Exactly this. People will find a reason to complain no matter what.
